Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitive lehakh‘iseni {לְהַכְעִיסֵ֔נִי | le-ḥaḵ-‘i-se-nî} ‘to provoke me’ conveys intentional arousal of divine anger, and the sequence ve-oti hishlakhta acharei gavekha {וְאֹתִ֥י הִשְׁלַ֖כְתָּ אַחֲרֵ֥י גַוֶּֽךָ | ve-ʾo-tî hiš-la-ḵa-tā a-ḥa-rê gav-ḗ-kha} places the object me before the verb to highlight personal affront, ending with the spatial metaphor ‘behind your back’, signifying complete rejection.
In context — 1 Kings 14:9
But you have done evil above all who were before you, and you went and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me , and you have cast Me behind your back.
